I hope online achievements will be kept to a minimum. Campaign missions I'm all for though.
It kind of moots the point of "everything is here" collection if you're splitting the userbase with DLC.

Besides the stream tomorrow at 5am PST, is there going to be a specific Halo panel streamed?????
Missed opportunity.

I'd like a 750/250 split for each game. 3000Gs for campaign, 1000Gs for multiplayer.

Oft hope is born when all is forlorn.
That sounds terrible, and god I hope they don't go that route. Multiplayer is unified for all games. It would be tragic if we have to hunt down 500mp achievements for all 4 games. I posted my prediction earlier in this thread. Let me find it
edit
I hope its something like this. If they treat this as one game, it would be so much better.

this. MP achieves suck, because people boost for them and it ruins matchmaking.
why would developing maps in a game with over 100 maps already, and giving them away for free be a "missed opportunity"?
one can only hope.

Hmm, that seems like a pretty likely guess, actually.

Will the Halo info be in that conference tomorrow at 5 am?
Is there a list yet of who's all streaming what tomorrow and times?

The native-res screens Bungie posted back in the day were nothing short of glorious.
I still think it's got the best art out of all the Halo games.

And lighting. 1080/60 sunlight through trees swaying in the breeze. Hnnngggg.
Yeah, on second thought this sounds better.

Frank, how long is the load time for multiplayer expected to be for each map, since it has to load that game's respective game engine as well?
They've got enough RAM that they could just load all 4 games engines at once and just trigger and switch to the one they're using.
Assuming assets fully loaded in original mode in addition to the run time
~50MB(H1) + ~50MB(h2) + ~380MB(H3) + ~400MB(H4)
Under a gig to load the state of every single Halo game with a map fully loaded, and you have 4GB left over
The loading of the engine itself is a small part of getting it loaded, most of the time is populating the assets

Correction Halo 2 maps* and it doesn't have to be free. Seeing how Halo 2 anniversary is the main attraction to this package it'd be nice to have more Halo 2 maps reimagined 10 years later.

will miss this in the morning. anyone going make a spoiler free thread for the conference.
Is it already known if the online co-op will be free of those lag problems of the previous version?
It is 99% likely that button lag will still be present in all titles for co-operative modes.
"Fixing" that issue requires re-writing the entire AI engine for all 4 games to make them work over async. On a budget release. lol, not happening

This was expected and nice to have it confirmed.

My first disappointment with the collection. Midship would have been a much better choice and it would have been nice for the visual variety it would have added and since there were no Covenant maps in Halo 4.
I really hope the final map is Terminal.
So now Ascension, Coagulation, Zanzibar, Sanctuary are confirmed correct? So only place for two of these: Lockout, Midship, Ivory Tower... I need all of those :/
Edit: Wait 5 are confirmed? Which is the 5th?
There's 2 maps left to be revealed.

Lockout.
Judging by the sizes of the currently revealed maps the final map will likely be a large map.
Nope, Frankie said Lockout along with Zanzibar at E3.

Eh.
Campaign footage of H3/4 will look pretty identical to the 360 versions unless they release it on gamersyde.
I would rather see what progress they are making on the layers of Halo 2 Anniversary.
The E3 footage looked like a good start, but still rather close to what I would expect from a 360 remake, not an XBO remake. But it was an early WIP.

Didn't get the memo regarding the 14th Amendment
Lockout needs to be remade -- it's a given, right? Right?
Also, I wish developers/publishers would consider another money stream that would help fund continuing development of an already released game rather than charge for map packs. I understand those things cost money, but it would seem like it would be worth a try to maybe monetize aesthetic/vanity armor, weapons, insignia, whatever is in the game rather than the maps itself and further fragment the community. Maybe even make stuff like achievements dealing with those maps (and other specific things that don't really affect gameplay) behind a paywall but keep the actual maps free. This doesn't really deal with Halo specifically, although it would be nice if Microsoft decided to attempt something different than just map packs.
YES!! YES!!!!

Hell, Coag(at least its geometry, the bases were Blood Gulch), Sanctuary and Ascension where all part of Forge world. We might end up with only maps that have been remade before, which would be kinda sad. On the other hand I guess that means we might end up seeing some H2 maps in Halo 5 that haven't been remade yet...
Awesome.

Yeah Midship and Lockout are two of my favorites but I really don't need a fresh coat of paint on what were tried and true maps.
Leave the tinkering for the maps that need adjusting. I'd be interested in a Collosus remake for example--thats an interesting map that could be really good with some changes.

Not to mention Midship in the original Halo 2 multiplayer.
And yeah, the fact that the first BTB map revealed is Coag is pretty disappointing. I'd much rather have gotten Terminal or Waterworks.

I doubt we will only get one BTB map.
We have
Small:
Lockout
Sanctuary
Medium:
Ascension(Medium Small)
Zanzibar(Medium Large)
Large:
Coagulation
I think it is very likely that the final map will be a large map.
Terminal plz. The hope for Terminal never dies!

I know, but it's still kinda underwhelming to have the first BTB map revealed be a map we've gotten in every sequel except for Halo 3.
